BeOS vs. QNX RTOS

What happens when you take two of the leanest, meanest, desktop OS's around, and throw them in the proverbial steel cage? *shrugs* I dunno either man, but the fine folks at Ars think they do:

So, how does one decide which of these OSes they'd prefer? Their intentions are similar, but they really diverge when you get down and dirty with them. As such, I put Be and QNX into the Ars OS Cage o' Death. Since they're only software they didn't duke it out as I hoped they would. However, I did take a look at some important parts of each OS and decided which OS did a better job in my categories of analysis. Enjoy!

Oh yeah! That's just too much alternative OS goodness for a geek to miss. I'll see you there.__________

The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.

This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look.

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker.

After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us.
